So tonight well have a headache session and well that reminded me about this song from long long ago!
Frank Black - Headache
Before I got into Frank Black and Friends I listened to things like Seal and yes, Roxette. That album with The Look, and in all honesty I wish these guys would have covered that song....
Through Fire - Listen To Your Heart
So is that headache already coming or shall push the pedal down a bit harder on that metal. These guys make awesome melodic Now Metal with a touch of wave.
BAD OMENS - The Grey
Oh wow it keeps getting better, why did I not find these guys sooner they sound so much like The Birthday Massacre, pure Rock Wave; Like Birthday, and Massacre, Light, and Dark. Cute, and evil
Detroit Run - Crimson Tears
Couldn´t leave you hanging mentioning these guys and not playing them, Happy Birthday Dear Reader!
The Birthday Massacre - Happy Birthday
Damn I fell so deep into this Youtube Loop I found more than I bargained for. I came across all kind of smaller bands with very interesting sounds, like these guys;
Empire Springs - Ascend
But I think I liked this Amira Elfeky thing even more although they have to work on their audio mixing as the volume is below par.
Amira Elfeky - Tonight
That audio is the one thing that Follow The Cipher has so covered, this song has it all. Synths, metal, a creepy voice, and a redheaded Siren singing.
FOLLOW THE CIPHER - Rewind The Stars
Okay, I loved the guys from Bullets, probably the nicest band I ever had in my bar (not only because they invited me to a beer) when I saw they did it with Pendulum I was like this has to be good.
Pendulum, Bullet For My Valentine - Halo
Encore
For all of you who sat through this trip and have a hurting head, here is some pain relief.
HOT DOG HAJ - Forever (feat Zïe)

Guess What, My Riddle got solved by @bozz that who worked his brains so hard he saw stars.
What the fluff is midnight gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
